Abstract

The regio-and diastereoselectivities of metal-mediated allenylation of carbonyl compounds were investigated in aqueous media. Different metal mediators showed varied regioselectivities on product formation during propargylation-allenylation reactions of carbonyl compounds with simple propargyl bromide. Under the standard reaction conditions, the use of indium provided the highest regioselectivity, with a preference of ...
